"What is This Hippo Carriage?"
The most dangerous vehicle mankind has ever made.
No my good friend, that would be a baboon carriage.
@@Bagginsess No no, my friend, that would be a honey badger carriage... 🧐
@@Robert_McGarry_Poems no, no, no my friend, that would be the Ford Pinto
Prototheria is correct. Search for hippos defecating on RUclips. They must have not fed her until after shows.
Wow! ... and I would have guessed it's a hippo cab, for touring the, um ... hippocampus.
"To participate in the nitrogen cycle" What an elegant expression. I must use that sometime.
Can't claim it as my own, a friend of mine used it
Today I learned that hippos sweat "blood." I had never heard of or seen this before, I assumed when you brought it up that people in the olden days just made it up to make the animal sound more exotic and otherworldly. That's amazing that they do actually coat themselves in a red liquid that resembles blood.
Poor little chunky girl 🥺
@@jhonayo4887 😭 Dangerous too...
This video feels like it started as a community tab shitpost but then you were like “no wait there’s enough here to be serious for a sec” and then actually did it for realsies
Lol

No cap whippopotamous meme
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to get in front of that thing, but I sure wouldn't be sitting behind it like that, either. The range of a hippo's sphincter is equivalent to field artillery.
>not having a shit shield
ok pleb
That's roughly what I thought as soon as I saw the thumbnail. I've seen one of those things go off. Wouldn't even pose in a photo with one unless I had my shit shield with me.
And suddenly I am well informed about this subject. Thank you.
Hippo lore video finally
That's the Whippopotamus
I love how hippos are portrayed as kind fun gentle but in reality they are 1 ton testosterone filled behemoths
I consider what I knew aboot hippo carriages obsolete. Thanks!
Interesting ! 😯
I’ve been watching RUclips videos on a Sunday afternoon (right now) to improve my English listening skills and I’ve just come across this video. I didn’t expect that I could learn something about hippos today. And I learned another English word (“perspiration”) from this video.Thank you so much, from Japan. 😊
Doitashimashite. Can i ask you a question? What is the guy saying exactly when he's feeding the hippo?
Hai Agemasu? I tried searching the word,but couldn't find it! Thank you.
ruclips.net/video/9wyhhxOZazI/видео.html
@@alakhazom Yes. “Hai, Agemasu (はい、あげます。) “ is exactly what he said, which means “Here you are / I’ll give this to you”
(The name of the zoo in your video is “Nagasaki Bio Park”, I guess (probably). I have never been to Nagasaki, though.)
@@rukathehamsteratwork8896 Arigato goziemashita. I can't believe i nailed the romanization of agemasu!
Probably i've seen too many japanese movies...though i've seen many Hk,Chinese(taiwanese also) and Korean-japanese language,phonetically seems like the most easy to comprehend,for an european. The words,if you pay attention,reveal themselves. I've heard the grammar is the most difficult out of the 3,although i'm not sure.
That phrase,Hai Agemasu,just sounded cool,and catchy for my foreign ears.
P.s:On a funny note, i haven't been to Nagasaki also,although i've been to Tokio. Nice city,and interesting culture!It surprised me pleasantly,after reading about it and Japan for years.
Thank you again,and have a good night(it should be night there)!
As a native english speaker this comment made my day. It was so cute! Do you know the english word:
"supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"?
Here is a nice how-to on how to pronounce it and a bonus listenimg excersice for you!!

Fire of Learning only asks the most important questions.
1:15 “for example, in Africa, it’s HOMELAND” 😂😂😂🤌🤌🤌
I love you lotus your memory lives on
"What is this hippo carriage?"
A bad idea.
Congratulations Mr. Learning. Looking forward for next video!
Hippocarting
The most dangerous vehicle known to man, that's what is.
Someone beat me to it
If you bred gentle hippos over many generations you could breed hippos safe enough to keep as pets. Then its just a matter of house training them.
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas.
Will be your last Christmas

Your videos are fantastic and informative, punctuated by your unique and surprisingly calming voice.
Thank you for the hours of enjoyment 👍
So happy you're back
very cool video again, thanks brother
poor hippo shouldn't be forced to do that
Someone send this to Casual Geographic. He will no doubt have words for anyone interfacing with a murder water horse.
Bruh we gotta bring back the Whippopotamus
At least the beasts got to stretch their legs
We're all Hippos rollin' down the river
Sometimes we can't touch the ground
Like Hippos slidin' in the water
Somehow we're stompin' around - Steppenwolf 1970
on the topic of hippos did you know that in the early years of the 20th century America was undergoing a meat crisis when it came to farming lifestock so the US Congress thought the unthinkable they considered a bold and ingenious plan that would simultaneously solve two pressing problems -- a national meat shortage and a growing ecological crisis. The plan was this: hippopotamus ranching.
Hippos imported from Africa and raised in the bayous of Louisiana, proponents argued, would provide a delicious new source of protein for a meat-hungry nation. In the process, the animals would gobble up the invasive water hyacinth that was killing fish and choking off waterways. It would be an epic win-win. A bill was introduced in Congress, and newspaper editorials extolled the culinary virtues of "lake cow bacon."
Dear god, I can’t even imagine the fatality rate of an early 20th century hippo rancher
Great video i am happy i know what the hippo carriage is now thanks
That's just a pre industrial tank nothing to worry about
Imagine if the Hippo had some Jordans on!!!! Gotta look good when pretending to be a Bus!
"while the hippopotamus may seem like a gentle giant"

You should make more of these videos it’s nice to see you make less serious video and see your Sense of humor
I'll be honest, i expected this photo to have been taken in Florida.
I wonder if he will ever finish that “history of 20 countries” or whatever it was before where he did England, France, and Spain amongst others. That’s what I subscribed for and while this stuff is fine and interesting I’d still like to see that series finished
Yes, Spain part 3 is a top priority. It's just it's been shifted around for a few reasons though. I will likely have it up this winter. Recent news may cause me to get it up even earlier than I planned.
Could be worse. Flash Point History is still doing a series on reconquista but he has spent about a year now on a side trip to the crusades itself a side trip to the fall of constantinople. And it is glorious
"History of Nations and Peoples"
I love HIppos. It's natures way of saying "Oh yeah? You got tanks? So am I."
The whippopotamus
Your best video
"Road dome so sloppy I almost crashed the Whippopotamus..."
I wait for the day when future historians analyse our memes with the same level of commentary, professional research, and high quality as this.
Ceaser: "You must race me and my best horse for freedom, lass."
Me, after my hippo eats 30% of his horse: "Race you and your what?"
I need it… right now.
Go back to being a terrible and also cursed president.
A man of culture, I see.
Okay now that's interesting
Da hippo whip⁉️🥶
Hippo nitrogen cycle...that's a hilarious and poignant statement on hippo's defecation.
Helicopter poops 🚁😂
this video was in my recommended for like 1 year
road done so sloppy almost crashed the whippopotamus
Now I’ve seen everything!
I SWEAR i saw that image Right before this video.
I am a simple man. I see hippo carriage, I click
what da hippo doin?
Road dome so sloppy I almost crashed the whippopotamus
This is awesome and odd enough as pickles on a burger
So many dangers of this transportation. For both people in front and in the drivers seat
we always ride hippos in my country
You should make a video on the complete history of pirates.
Tom Smothers once rode a hippo out onto stage in an episode of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour......I miss that short-lived show.
"what is this hippo carriage?"
It's actually a Whippopotamus
How did I not know about this, I made a whole video about animals people used or attempted to use as transport? Out of all the crazy animals including lions and tigers, I found hippos the worst due to a combination of their preferred environment and terrible tempers. I didn't find a single account of anyone using a hippo for transport without eventually dying by it. But here is the exception, one can use a hippo to pull a chart safely. Still I would advise avoiding it.
I see you for what you really Are!!!
Yess
My mom's best friend from highschool was a lion tamer who became moderately famous in Japan in the 80s
I saw a thumbnail of a man riding a hippo chariot and clicked before I even saw it was in my sub feed.
The history of the whippopotamus
It's the newest Twisted Metal character!
There needs to be a hippo cart in the next Twisted Metal game. The thing is already dangerous and over-the-top, just slap some machine guns and missile launchers on it and it's good to go.
Time or Life magazine ???
Such a cute hippo
2:58 Did you sat TIME Magazine?
Interesting, ... I never knew that hippopotamus' had been or could be domesticated. Thanks for the insight!
As I understand it, if you raise any animal from birth around outside of the wild and around humans, they're 'tame', though can still be unpredictable and dangerous. Domestication is where humans have been breeding them for so long they're basically they're own species now. I'd never get close to a 'tame' hippo hahaha
What is this hippo carriage? A question i ask myself everyday.
There was a lot of cruelty in America in first half of 20th century.
Hippomobile
Hippos can live between forty and fifty years in captivity.
Dripped out 🦛
I want one

Have you considered doing Greek mytho story’s?
Can you do a country profile on a non-European (also applies to European cultural countries like the former Anglosphere, Francosphere nations, etc...) country in the future Fire of Learning?
Poor hippo
Do a documentary on St. Valentine's day
Ah yes, the Whippopotamus
That would be the highest hippo power form of transport .
RICARDOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I want a Rhino carriage
Hippos almost shoot poop out of their bodies and wag it with their stubby tail. Why sit behind one? Lol
